Founded by Lise (Loulou Afrika) — a creative producer with a background in fashion design, dance, and cultural storytelling — Boho Afrika grew from years of travel, collaboration, and lived experience in Tanzania.
What began as a personal journey evolved into a broader vision:
to build bridges between cultures through intentional travel, creativity, and community-led projects.
Boho Afrika is not about doing things for communities.
It’s about building with them.
At Boho Afrika, we begin by listening.
We work with humility, curiosity, and respect — taking the time to understand people, context, and culture before acting. Empathy guides how we travel, create, and collaborate.
To foster cultural, educational, and economic exchange between Africa and the world through sustainable, creative, and community-driven initiatives.
A network of human-scale projects and cultural hubs across Africa that support creativity, local livelihoods, and meaningful intercultural dialogue — starting in Tanzania.

Empower youth and creatives
Encourage skill-sharing and mentorship
Support local cultural expression
Foster long-term community well-being
The foundation operates with transparency, humility, and a long-term perspective.
What began as a single journey slowly became something deeper.
Boho Afrika grew from travel experiences that went beyond landscapes and wildlife — into relationships, shared stories, and a growing awareness of how creativity and community shape meaningful exchange.
This evolution reflects a shift from observing to participating, from visiting to listening, and from short-term experiences to long-term commitment.
A first journey to Tanzania sparked a profound personal and creative shift.
What started as a safari experience opened the door to deeper cultural encounters, everyday moments, and human connections that challenged assumptions and reshaped perspective.
This trip planted the seed for what would later become Boho Afrika — rooted not in tourism alone, but in curiosity, respect, and relationship.
Boho Afrika officially took shape as a creative platform exploring travel, storytelling, and cultural exchange.
Built through lived experience, collaborations, and time spent on the ground, the project focused on slower, more intentional ways of engaging with place and people.
Rather than offering packaged experiences, Boho Afrika began experimenting with creative workshops, collaborations, and community-centered ideas.
Today, Boho Afrika is evolving into a broader social enterprise and foundation model.
This next phase focuses on supporting community-led initiatives, creative education, and sustainable livelihoods — starting in Tanzania and expanding thoughtfully over time.
The goal is not growth for its own sake, but impact that is human-scaled, collaborative, and rooted in long-term relationships.
